Process Roadmap
Step 1
Confirm the Training Category
Check that the course is for work or professional development, lasts no more than 90 days, and is arranged on a company-to-company basis by your employer or an organisation you belong to. This category does not permit work.
Step 2
Complete AVATS for Training
Complete AVATS accurately, select “Short Stay (C)” and “Training”, note the Visa Application Transaction Number, then print, sign, and date the summary sheets. Supporting documents should normally be sent within 30 days of creating the application.
Step 3
Secure Both Training Letters
Obtain the employer or sponsoring-organisation letter and the training-company invitation. Make sure the course content, dates, work relevance, cost responsibility, and return-to-work information are clear and consistent.
Step 4
Prepare Funding, Travel & Supporting Evidence
Provide accommodation, financial and travel evidence, return commitments, required translations, residence records, previous refusal documents, and other applicable supporting evidence, keeping the full application consistent.
Step 5
Follow the Submission Instructions
Follow the AVATS directions. Bangladesh residents may submit by post to the Embassy of Ireland in New Delhi or by appointment at the Ireland Visa Application Centre in Kolkata.
Step 6
Pay Fees & Submit the File
Submit the signed AVATS summary, passport, supporting documents, required copies, and applicable fees. Embassy submissions require a bank draft in Indian rupees; VFS submissions follow the prescribed VFS payment process.
Step 7
Follow the Decision & Travel Conditions
Track the application using the available reference details. If approved, arrange travel/medical insurance, check the visa, and carry key training documents when travelling.
